From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Executives of Construction of Iran Party[a] (Persian: حزب کارگزاران سازندگی ایران, romanized: Hezb-e Kārgozārān-e Sāzandegi-ye Irān) is a reformist[8] political party in Iran, founded by 16[5] members of the cabinet of the then President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani in 1996.[7][3] The party is a member of Council for Coordinating the Reforms Front.[8]
Views and factions
Economically, the party supports free markets and industrialization, with a high emphasis on progress and development.[3] The party takes the view that economic freedom is fundamentally linked to cultural and political freedom, but it should not be allowed to conflict with development.[7] The party is divided into two factions in constant struggle, the more conservative "Kermani faction" led by Mohammad Hashemi Rafsanjani and Hossein Marashi, and the more liberal "Isfahani faction" led by Mohammad Atrianfar and Gholamhossein Karbaschi.[24]
